However we make save by making use of the plastic grocery bags that accumulate from my shopping trips.

A few years ago I switched from a large kitchen trash can to a smaller one that fits under my kitchen sink. At first I was buying trash bags just like I always had even though they were too big for the trashcan. Then one day we were out of them. (Yes even with my stockpile I do run out of things.) I went to the handy dandy place where I store my grocery bags, put one in the can and was amazed at how well it fit. The handles fit right over the sides of the can. Ever since then I have stopped buying trash bags and we use plastic grocery bags instead.

Theoretically a smaller trashcan should mean that trash is taken out more often right? How come we seem to stuff as much in before taking it out? Oh that's a whole different topic!
